Chapter 21: The Proper Use of the Villagers

The Ghost Fire Festival was a lot of fun, and what we got was so rich. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, the only thing that makes us feel very unhappy is that all the ghost fires that have been handed back are returned.

Originally, I thought that those ghost fires were also sent, but it turned out to be a waste of our feelings.

But it doesn't do much if that thing comes, it's just a matter of seeking.

The advantage of using ghost fire for lighting is that you don't have to look at the dense torches inserted in the wall, because once you don't have a ghost fire in your hand, then you can only see the light. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, you can't put a block on the place where the ghost fire is placed, because it will block the light source of the ghost fire, and once an object is placed in the location of the ghost fire, the ghost fire will enter the object block as if fused.

"That's not the point! We're going to mine today! Akai spoke up, interrupting my jumbled thoughts.

I reacted, "Oh? Oh!! Anyway, where should we go to mine? ”

Pushing my glasses, I asked the usual question that I had asked countless times.

Akai spared his head, in fact, in this world, you can dig ore by digging down, but for the sake of efficiency, it is better to look for those natural pits, tunnels or mines.

Mining by yourself is too time-consuming and laborious, and the regular effort is not proportional to the return.

"Just go where I found last time, bring enough ladders, it's a bit dangerous." Akai said.

"Yes, I understand."

The things we need to prepare to go down the mine can occupy a third of our backpack, which is a must, and we must carry it.

Whether it's food or tools, torches for lighting and ladders for climbing.

After a short period of preparation, we were able to embark on the mining road again.

An hour later, after a trek, I followed Akai to a barren mountain that Akai had marked with torches.

"Hey, Akai, there doesn't seem to be any signs of a mine here?" I looked around, and there was little to praise about this barren ridge other than the sparse oak trees. Even the color of the soil is very strange.

I bent down and looked at the yellowish color of the turf on the ground, and further on, the color of the turf changed to a darker yellow.

"It's so sad to look at the colors of the terrain lately." The changes in this world are seen in my eyes, and I can only sigh that the world is more detailed.

However, dirt is always dirt, and no matter how much the color changes with the environment, the essence of soil will not change.

"That's right, look closely." Akai nodded and said with certainty, with a slight solemnity.

I followed Akai's gaze and looked at the ground, only to see a gap.

"Hey, don't you have a cave?" I approached, and along the gap, I saw something that surprised me.

Deep!

This is what came to my eyes.

That's a huge underground canyon!

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing obstructing my view, all the way to the point of the underground canyon.

It was a large expanse of bright light, flowing beneath the earth, like a vein-like flow of magma.

I gasped, not only because of the depth of this underground canyon, but through the faint glow of darkness and magma on the canyon walls, I saw a large number of different ores very densely distributed.

"Damn, this place is too dangerous."

Taking a deep breath, the feeling of lying on the cliff and looking down was not very good for me, and there was always an insecurity that I couldn't believe the dirt under my feet, as if the next moment my feet were going to collapse and then fall like that.

Although I knew that the ground under my feet was firm, I subconsciously took a few steps back.

"How the hell did you find this place? Such a secluded underground canyon. I asked Akai.

Akai spread his hands and said helplessly: "Don't mention it, if I hadn't walked quite carefully when I was looking for the mine road, I might have stepped on the air and fell." ”

Akai looked happy, it was good that he didn't run to find a mine at the same time.

I understand Akai's happiness.

Whether it is reality or any other world, the so-called visual difference is absolute, and it is a phenomenon that can deceive the eye.

The height difference, this is the most common trap, and it is often encountered when walking in nature, maybe one moment the foot is still walking on the ground, but the next moment it is a foot in the air, and then fall into the hole.

"This place is too dangerous, I don't dare to go down like this alone."

I nodded.

After that, there is nothing to say about the process of going to the mine. In the case of this type of Grand Canyon, there is nothing to climb, so we have to make holes elsewhere.

The specific operation method is to measure the distance and then cut in at an angle.

"To put it bluntly, let's dig a mine tunnel and go in!" The corners of my eyes twitched.

"Don't complain, get to work, I've brought a week's worth of food." Akai digs through the dirt with a shovel.

“······ Are you saying we're going to stay in this place for a week until our backpack is full? "I'll admit I was a little surprised, but I've been doing this kind of business trip before, so I didn't show too much surprise.

"There's no way, now there is an urgent shortage of ore at home, and after this mining is completed, we will go to the extreme east direction where you said last time that there is a very heavy evil and dark atmosphere, and there may be unexpected gains."

As he spoke, Akai had already dug up the dirt layer on the surface, revealing the rock layer underground, and then, replacing it with an iron draft, began to tap rhythmically.

Boom! Knock knock! Knock knock knock!

"I'll you, are you mining or beating the beat!" I said with a black line on my face.

The mining actually dug out the beat, and it was enough to be a bunker, worthy of being the person who has been in charge of mining all along.

"Yo Xi, I'll come too!" I'm also involved in the great cause of mining.

————————————————I'm a dividing line————————————————

A week later.

······

Voice of Mystery: Hey, it's a week away! What about the good mining plot, and the underground maze that extends in all directions!

Author: It's verbose, what is there to write about that kind of thing, everything that can be written has already been written, once or twice, forget it, and I'll vomit again!

Voice of Mystery: Okay.

······

After digging up a lot of different ores, we made it home before we ran out of food, no damn accidents, no damn monsters out of the way. We just went home uneventful.

When we got home, Akai and I were pleasantly surprised to find that our fields had been expanded.

Because before I came out, I used some gold ingots left over from my family to hire the villagers in the city, and the project was not complicated, I just wanted the villagers to help build it.

I drew a drawing of the layout of the fields on paper, wrote down the materials and how to build it, and then handed over enough building materials to the hired villagers.

Don't look down on the villagers' ability to act, although many times the villagers' IQ is hard, but the villagers' mobility is first-class, as long as the construction drawings and enough materials are given, the villagers can build it completely.

By employing villagers, I was able to complete almost half of the construction work, and now I just need to improve the house and slowly expand it.

Night.

Akai dragged his tired body to sleep first, although the week's mining work was fruitful, whether it was iron ore or gold and silver ore, a considerable amount was harvested, and the most was copper ore.

It's a shame we didn't find diamonds, but we dug up a lot of obsidian and came back.

That way, whether it's an enchantment table or a portal to the Hell, we'll be able to craft it.

If we compare the production of ore, then copper ore is currently ranked first, that is, to the point where it can be found everywhere underground.

I'll continue to cheer myself up and try to make muskets and muskets tonight.

"It's a real problem, the memory is so long ago that I can't even remember how it was arranged." I sat down at my workbench with an iron ingot that had just been burned out of the stove and some planks and sticks, trying to make all sorts of combinations.

The procedure for muskets and muskets is similar, the barrel and butt are combined separately, and finally the two objects are assembled to form one.

After countless matches, my progress was only to make the butt, which only required two sticks and a plank, which was quite simple.

Progress stuck on crafting the barrel.

"Well, what the hell is missing, muskets······ Musket ······ Kindness?!!! "Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, from the name of the musket.

Since it is a musket and a firecracker, it must be flint, and flint and steel are definitely needed as a source of power.

Everything suddenly became clear.

Flint and steel is crafted using a piece of iron ingot and flint bevels from shoveling gravel.

After half a ring, after several different placements of flint and steel ingots, I managed to use the workbench to combine the musket barrel and the fire gun barrel.

Immediately after that, our first pair of firearms in this world officially appeared.

With the joy of suddenly stepping from the era of cold weapons to the ** medieval era, I played with muskets and muskets for a while and went to sleep.

As long as we have some ammo for muskets and muskets crafted tomorrow, we can start our journey.
